You need to check the voltage *at the motor* while it is acting up. I suspect a bad connection somewhere.
There are 2 connections at the motor, 2 part way down the arm and then 4 at the switch. After the switch I have no idea where it gets its power from. I can redo the connections but don't think that is going to help.
My other crazy idea is to get a DC converter that will boost the voltage from 12 volts to 14 volts. 10 AMPS max draw. The awning moved very nicely with the 18 volt battery so 14 should be good.
